Merry me Berry

Hello.

Brunch on Sunday is such a cliche but I still love the idea of waking up late and then eating a large meal in which I can combine many types of food.

Emily and I went to one called Merry Berry yesterday on Parliament just south of Wellesley.

This place is cute.  It has a homey feel inside with great wall paintings and bench seating all around the outside.  The Patio is like sitting in a small backyard in the city with some great wire tables.  All of the servers and people who work here are amazing and some of the most pleasant people I have ever met.

Now onto the food.

We shared a couple of things starting with the coleslaw.  This was probably the best slaw I have ever had.  It was a mix of red and green cabbage with nuts, green apple, shaved beets, and shavings of veggie chips with a honey mustard dressing.  It was unique and amazing.

MMMMMMMMM platter.  It started with a fruit cup which was pretty standard.  Then moving on to a grilled cheese with some sort of grain mustard sauce included as well as spring onion on multi-grain bread.  I am going to start doing this at home as it is very tasty.  A warm bran muffin with fruit in it is the next stop which brought some great density to the meal.  And to finish it off we had an egg bake with potatoes, chiriso, veggies, and other in it.  this was the perfect meal mix as it included everything you wanted in breakfast and lunch together.

Decent pricing as for 21 bucks we were both stuffed.

I will be going back here to try many many different things.

Burgers Priest

Hello.

So I am on a weight loss challenge so I have not been eating out at all and I am happy to report that i am down about 12 lbs in 3 weeks.

However, before I started I did have one of the largest hilarious burgers ever from Burgers Priest.

Laid out above are the burgers that we got and i will have to say it was ridiculous.

BEFORE YOU GO TO BURGERS PRIEST GO ONLINE AND LOOK AT THE SECRET MENU.
Just google "burgers priest secret menu".

Lets start with the chili cheese fries.  I had a couple of those and they were quite meaty but make sure you eat them 1st as the soggyness of the fries could get too much.

On to the burger.

I ate something called the Armageddon Vatican style (all off the secret menu).

The Armageddon goes a little something like this. Cheeseburger, The Option (Deep fried mushroom cap stuffed with cheese), another Option, then another cheese burger.

Vatican style is in stead of a bun it was 2 grilled cheese sandwiches.

This was so much cheese it was amazing.  I would suggest not getting any sides if you get this.  each bite had to be less than the whole size because you could not fit your mouth on it.  I would for sure get it again.

This is a great place but is a little expensive.  The burgers are great but not huge.  Mine was understandably expensive at about $20 bucks maybe.  Just be careful because the secret menu has no prices.

Eat and love it.
